The scaled sardine's unique metabolic phenotype and its implications for the susceptibility of small tropical pelagic fishes to climate change.

Abstract excerpt

Small pelagic fishes (e.g., sardines, anchovies and their relatives) are preyed upon by large predatory fishes, birds and mammals, and thus, are key species in marine food webs and with respect to ecosystem health and productivity. However, we know little about their physiology, and such information will be critical to predicting how their populations may be impacted by human-induced rapid environmental change...
